Ways To Track Ovulation

Since my baby is now a toddler, it reminded myself of what I
was feeling before I had him. Awkward as it may sound, I have been checking
videos and articles about ovulation and conceiving weeks before I found out
that I was pregnant. I am amazed about the process, from ovulation to
conception then the start of fetus development.

Although ovulation and conceiving has never been a problem
to me, I have friends who encountered a situation where having a baby wasn’t that
easy. One of my co-blogger, Rackell of www.mommyrackell.comshared her story for being diagnosed having Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). This was a
common endocrine disorder among reproductive age women that causes infrequent
or prolonged menstrual periods etc. Having that said, she has to
undergo medical intervention to correct her menstrual cycle and help her conceive.
I am so glad for her as she made it with now a beautiful bouncy baby girl,
Rhian.

I, myself have a regular menstrual cycle so I am able to
track my fertility period most of the time. With the kind of technology that we
have as the moment, I am sure there were tons of help left and right for you
track your ovulation and conceive successfully.

There are several ways to track ovulation. One of these is
by checking the cervical mucus, according to Diaperchamp.com. Cervical mucus is
the fluid released by the cervix to help the sperm get to the egg. If you check
your cervical mucus timely, you’ll notice that the cervical mucus changes from
the color to the texture. Some cervical mucus is colored light pink, light
brown, very white and clear white. When you are ovulating, you will notice an
increase in your cervical mucus. It will resemble that of an egg white. Not
only that, the egg white type of cervical mucus is very stretchy that when you
check and separate it through your fingers, it stretches without breaking. If you
notice that as you check one day, that means you just had your fertile cervical
mucus. A cervical mucus is designed to be that way during ovulation so the
sperm can flow fast going to the egg.

I remembered a friend who’s been telling me about cervical
mucus and how would you know if you’re on your fertility stage or not. To some
women who needs a little more of medical help, there were several medications
that you can get over the counteror you may set up an appointment with your Ob-Gyne.

Getting pregnant is one of a kind experience for every women
as it was a wonderful gift entrusted to us by God. Whether you can conceive
easily or may need medical attention, it will be a huge responsibility bearing
a new life to this world and surely, it would bring a wonderful life ahead. I
surely miss my pregnant self but nah, maybe another 5 years will do. =)

Very well said Mommy Jen. I agree with you that "Getting pregnant is one of a kind experience for every women". I'm so thankful na hindi kami pinahirapan masyado ni God and binigay nya agad si Rhian after 2 sessions. :)

I had to use an app to track my period. Kaya lang napreggy parin lol.. We wanted to wait another year before having a baby. Well, I guess God thinks 4 years of being married is enough. Sabi siguro nya, "Tama na yan! Mag-baby na kayo!" Haha
